Welcome to the home of BIZZY people where cooking is fun, quick, easy and delicious. Over the years, my taste in food has changed, as have my recipes. This blog will chronicle the changes I continue to make, as I face challenges in healthier eating and in new methods of cooking.

Eggplant and Haloumi Pizza

I planned on making pizza for supper, the other night, and decided eggplant would make an excellent topping. I looked on the Internet for a recipe using haloumi cheese which I had to use up and eggplant and surprisingly found a few.I already had pizza dough frozen so I defrosted it and hubby did the honors of rolling it while I was at work. I had cooked the eggplant earlier in the day and only needed to get the remaining ingredients together.I am working different hours, this year, and come home later and so far have found it almost impossible to eat at a decent time, if I don't cook (or at least prep) in the mornings.There is something magical about walking in and having only to put something in the oven or to simply cook pasta to go with meatballs, already made.Although the pizza was good, I was not happy with the choice of cheese. Haloumi is a tasty cheese but it did not melt like mozzarella and I do like a melty cheese on pizza. I would certainly make an eggplant pizza again but my choice of cheese would be changed.

Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human.

My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame this c…

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group. It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace.Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124. I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular. My toddler granddaughter even liked it. Must have been the hot sauce.

I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis.Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons.
